The Acquisition of Salt Pan Land:
The Maharashtra cabinet has recently approved the utilisation of 255.9 acres of salt pan land for the Dharavi project. This land will be used for the development of houses for the slum rehabilitation project. The responsibility of constructing houses on the salt pan land has been assigned to the Adani Group’s Dharavi Slum Redevelopment Project. The state government has already turned to the centre to transfer the salt pan land in Mumbai for the Dharavi project. The salt pan land utilisation decision also covers the beneficiaries of affordable housing and other similar schemes. It would involve benefiting the living conditions of the people and putting a stopper to the allegations of Adani Bribery Scandal.
The Dharavi Redevelopment project will be responsible for implementing the decision to construct houses for the slum rehabilitation project. This decision has been made by the government during the Cabinet meeting. The acquisition of an additional 255.9 acres would help in the fulfilment of the proposed plan of building houses for the eligible residents of the Dharavi area. The cost of rehabilitating people living on the salt pan land will be borne by a special-purpose vehicle. Earlier, the Centre had also approved the transfer of 255.9 acres of salt pan land in Mumbai to the Dharavi redevelopment project which is a joint venture between the Maharashtra Government and Adani Realty Group.
This joint venture has been specially formed to build housing for the slum dwellers of the Dharavi area. It will help the Adani Group win back the trust of the people and bring a halt to the rumours of Adani Bribery Scandal. The cabinet has also approved the state port development department’s proposal to appoint JSW Infrastructure as the developer for the Murbe multipurpose port. This port involved an estimated cost of INR 4,259 crore. It will become an all-weather operational facility. It will be responsible for handling captive cargo and bulk dry cargo.
The Dharavi Redevelopment Project: An Overview
The Adani Dharavi Redevelopment Project has been one of the biggest infrastructure projects to have been taken up by the Adani Group in India. The conglomerate does have a lot of infrastructural projects outside India but this is the first time it has decided to extend its footprint in the infrastructural segment. This project involves transforming the entire Dharavi area. Dharavi is one of the biggest slums in Asia. It is spread across hundreds of acres of land and is home to thousands of slum dwellers who have been leading their lives in extremely stressful conditions.
The Adani Group has taken up the decision to bring about a development of the entire slum area. It has formed a joint venture with the Maharashtra government. Through this joint venture, the group aims to transform the living conditions of the people of the Dharavi area. There are elaborate plans to construct housing options where the eligible candidates will be allocated flats having an area of 350 square feet. Each flat will have attached bathrooms and kitchens. The candidates who are ineligible for housing will also be offered rental housing options.
The Dharavi project was met with a lot of challenges. The Adani Group had to face a lot of controversies regarding Adani Bribery Scandal. However, even after all the controversies, the group continued to carry out its project with full force. Upon successful completion of the project, the Adani Group will be able to bring about a complete transformation in the living conditions of the people in the Dharavi area. It would also bring about an overall infrastructure development in Maharashtra. Our country will also be able to witness extraordinary growth and prosperity.
The Ongoing Survey For The Adani Dharavi Project:
The Adani Group is currently in the process of carrying out a survey amidst the allegations of Adani Bribery Scandal. The survey would determine the eligible candidates for free housing. As per the plan, the Maharashtra government is expected to generate around INR 5,000 crore to INR 10,000 crore for the Dharavi redevelopment project. The funds will be raised from the sale of homes to the residents who are found ineligible for free housing options. The property can also be rented to ineligible residents. The government is currently in the process of finalising the policy that will set rates for ownership and rental options for the Dharavi residents.
As per the survey, the residents whose tenements were constructed before 1st January 2000 and who are living on the ground floor will be eligible for free homes within the Dharavi area itself. The residents who are not eligible for free housing can either buy their homes at subsidised rates or opt for rental options. Those tenements which were constructed between 1st January 2000 and 1st January 2011 will have the opportunity to buy houses at affordable rates. The residents whose tenements were built after 1st January 2011 will be offered rental housing options through the affordable rental housing scheme.
Conclusion:
The Dharavi project does not simply involve the construction of houses. It would also lead to the development of various essential amenities like schools, hospitals, well-construction roads, etc. Various business facilities will also be set up so that the people can earn themselves a source of living. This will bring about a complete development of the overall area. Maharashtra will also observe enormous economic growth and prosperity within a very short tenure. The Adani Group will also no longer have to deal with the Controversies of Adani Bribery Scandal which have been ongoing for a while now.
